Message text: You can only change statement breakpoints on the breakpoints screen



What causes this issue?

The breakpoint that you want to change is a statement breakpoint.
However, you cannot change statement breakpoints by positioning the
cursor in the source code and then choosing a function.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Instead, you can only delete, deactivate, or activate them from the
breakpoint overview.

Change to the breakpoint overview to delete, activate, or deactivate
the breakpoint.
You cannot change a statement breakpoint for selected points in the
program.
Neither can you set a breakpoint at a point in the program where there
is already a statement breakpoint.
